It can still happen. At the moment maybe the 1800s were not ready to be moved over to the 6 yet. As for the cars the 6 will get: they will need at least a few 2000s since 1900s will still be needed on the S. And the 7 has 400+ cars to return back. The mainline lines will get some extra trains since the 6 is giving up fewer trains than it will take back because the 7 had at least 8 brand new train sets and all the insert cars. Some r142as on the 6 is going to be pushed out to the 4 so the 4 can push a few r142s over to the 2/5.

Take a look into an empty R62/A cab. From what I've seen there's absolutely no seats but rather sort of a heating unit installed. Also if seats were still there than how would C/Os & T/Os do their jobs looking out onto the platforms for customers without being comfortable.

Yes, 7866-7870 and 7860-7865 is not in service and is doing CBTC tests at this time. I've said this numerous times and have provided several links to videos on my YouTube channel. Hopefully this post clears up any last confusion.

Wait a minute, I thought the set was supposed to be 7491-7927-7500. I thought 7926 was supposed to go between 7489 and 7490 and 7925 is supposed to go between 7479 and 7480.

whoops, I misplaced the counting units

 

Supposely, the (7) has up to 7470 with 7924. 

 

7471-7480 with 7925, 7481-7490 with 7926 (as mentioned) and 7491-7500 with 7927: converted and to be delivered
